Technical field
This patent is related to cadmium-telluride-mercury infrared detector technology, and in particular to the design of mercury cadmium telluride avalanche diode detector with
Technology of preparing.
Background technique
Mercury cadmium telluride snowslide diode detector just has been reported early in the 1980s, due to mercury cadmium telluride ionization system itself
Number characteristic makes it that can prepare the avalanche photodide for being bordering on no excess noise, will be in infrared small-signal and m- high-altitude
Between play key effect in resolution detector, be rapidly developed in recent years, it has also become the development of third generation infrared imaging detector
An important directions.The infrared avalanche photodiode detector of mercury cadmium telluride is with its high gain-bandwidth product, high s/n ratio and is suitable for
High speed, weak signal even single photon detection is may be implemented in the advantages that linear work is imaged, in fiber optic communication, three-dimensional laser
Radar is widely used in astronomical observation and Atmospheric Survey etc..

The mercury cadmium telluride avalanche diode detector (Fig. 2) of conventional structure, it is usually blunt due to the influence of passivation layer fixed charge
The interface pn-junction for changing layer and mercury cadmium telluride is not at flat rubber belting state, and exhausting easily occurs in device surface, accumulates and transoid, and shows as
Band curvature, and then a series of dark current relevant to surface are generated, as shown in Figure 3.Also, the leakage current on pn-junction area surface is remote
It is mercury cadmium telluride avalanche diode snowslide device much larger than the generation-recombination current, dissufion current, tunnelling current of space charge region
The main ingredient of part dark current.Then, the infrared diode avalanche device of this conventional structure is greater than snowslide in reverse biased
When breakdown voltage, it can cause photodiode that thermoelectricity breakdown occurs because there are biggish leakage currents on surface.Which has limited it can only
Meet the signal detection amplified with linear model.To realize the high avalanche gain factor, it is necessary to by reducing avalanche diode
Dark current could realize the detection of small-signal, even single photon with Geiger mode angular position digitizer.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this patent is to solve the mercury cadmium telluride avalanche diode device of conventional structure in reverse biased and be greater than snow
When collapsing breakdown voltage, it can cause photodiode that thermoelectricity breakdown occurs, limiting it can only expire because there are biggish leakage currents on surface
It is enough the problem of linear model carries out signal detection, a kind of modulated pn-junction area surface energy band of proposition makes it tend to flat ribbon
State, the detector for inhibiting tracking current to make diode operation work under reversed big bias with Geiger mode angular position digitizer.
